Dear List,
I'm trying to follow the family of Nicholas Zachariah..found
living in HILLSDALE Co. Woodbridge twp. MI. 1870 census.
it reads as follows:
Nicholas age 56 born Prussia or Russia
Mary age 66 born PA.
Caroline age 15 born Ohio
John age 18 born Ohio
Nancy age 14 born Michigan
It looks as though they left Ohio around 1855/56
There is listed separately
George age 30 Ohio
Emma age34 Saxony
My husband's Great Grandmother Susan.. we have a Susan Sacharias
( from Whitenberg?) from her marriage to Edward Camp,Hillsdale, MI.
1868.... We're almost certain that the above family is related to her.
The family may have lived in Defiance or Williams Co. ,since that is where
Edward Camp lived after the family moved from Trumbull Co. Ohio.
The above census is the only place that I've found mention of the family.
There are Zacharias living in Medina Co. Liverpool Twp., but no Nicholas.
The pension application and widow's pension file was received the other day
form the Nat'l Archives and from that file.. the name of Caroline was
mentioned as marrying a Riley Loomis and moving out west.
They also named another sister " Rickey" as marrying a Henry Sines of
Defiance Co. Ohio.
I found on the internet a family that had Caroline married to Riley Loomis
but there wasn't any history on the Zachariah family.
Name: Carolina Zachariah
Sex: F
Birth: 1853 in Defiance, OH
Death: 1927
Burial: Oak Grove Cemetery, Winslow, AK
Change Date: 3 JAN 2001
Marriage 1 Riley Loomis b: 1848
Married: 25 DEC 1872 in Hillsdale Co., MI
I also found:
Ohio Marriages 1803-1900
Ancestry.Com
Sines, Henry Spouse: BOCKORIES , Rockney
married:22 April 1864 Henry Co. Ohio
Although this name is not Zacharias it is as close as some of the other
creative spellings that were found in the pension file....like SOCHRY.
SACHAREES.
The pension file said that Susan Zachariah had three brothers, George,
Michael and John.... Their whereabouts is unknown.
If anyone can relate to this line of Zacharias/ Zachariah family please
contact me.
Thanks,
